So we haven't had one of these threads in a long time and more and more I'm seeing some new faces grace the board.

So this is a place for the old guard and the new arrivals to come by and get acquainted with one another. Say hello. Tell us a bit about yourself and add a picture if you have one (I find this place gets better when we can put a face to the name).

We're optional when it comes to real names. Hell, if you want to stick to a completely fictional backstory for yourself that works too. But say hi.

Hello. I'm Robin. Welcome to Whitechapel.]]>

I love to cook, and am rarely as happy as I am when the wheels lift off the runway.

I've been in the neighborhood since 2008 but my life is almost unrecognizable now as compared to then.

I live in Southern California and I'm in Los Angeles quite frequently - and curse not being able to live in the city.

I am aiming for a career in voice acting but going about it very slowly. Theatre is my oldest love and I sometimes stage manage and do dramaturgy. I haven't acted on stage since college and I'm trying to sort out if...maybe...I should...

I hedge a lot.

I learned a lot of Japanese but then stopped because the easy-to-get-to classes ran out, and all the online options end at the same intermediate level. But I still harbor a dream of becoming fluent.

I speak Spanish fluently.

I dig on philosophy, *love* Kant and Hume, poking at Deleuze, Hegel and Baudrillard recently and enjoying it. I think about things too much.

Hello all, Whitechapel is a good place. Inspiring and such. Just want to keep that particular ball rolling.]]>

My name is Bob. Only my cat calls me Robert.

Was born in Scotland (Shetland Isles), lives & studied in Glasgow in the '90s before moving to London. There I met the woman I would marry, Sigga with whom I moved to Iceland in 2007. I've lived there ever since.

I introduced myself to the W/C family in 2007, and like most people here, my life has changed quite a lot.

Love geek culture in all its forms - Comics, Films, strange ephemera, you name it. But my main passion is music. Started writing about music and have been writing for publications in Iceland on the music scene here for quite a few years.

2013 will hopefully see some changes in my life. Mostly for the better!

When I signed up to Whitechapel I was in my final year of university, living in a lovely house in Leeds, and working in a job that stressed me out and that I was soon to be made redundant from.

Now it's all change! I'm in the final year of an MA, living in a lovely house in London, and working in a job that stresses me out and ...

My non-academic hobbies have shrivelled somewhat over the last two years and have gone particularly dark this summer as I've been chipping away at a final thesis (now in final squeaky-bum three weeks), but come September when I have nailed the bastard I have plans to get back into cinema, literature, running, climbing, and travelling. Planning to write more as it seems to be something I've consistently enjoyed since forever, but have never been honest enough with myself to take seriously.

Like Ken, I was in my final year at school when I signed up (well, I think it was the summer before). I'm now out and about in the real world, for better or for worse, and I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. Technically I guess I work in advertising.

But I like drawing. I like reading. I don't paint enough anymore. And I photograph live music a lot with a camera that frustrates the hell out of me.

Hey, I'm Robin. 28 and living in Toronto.

When I started at Whitechapel back in the far-off days of 2007, I was in my final year of film school and working part time as a film editor with thoughts of going in to advertising.

Now I'm working as a freelance photographer, do a bit of music publicity and run a craft beer site called The Thirsty Wench which has been seeing some success.

I'm a terrible writer but a damned good painter, and occasionally host drinking parties for the other Toronto Whitechapellers.

I live in Kalamazoo Michigan, am married to comic artist/roller derby star Jane Irwin and have spent most of my life trying to make good comics, and for the last 20 years been trying to get people to pay me to do them. I am the CEO and Senior Designer of Sizer Design + Illustration, and Head Publisher of Café Digital Studios. I have self published 3 graphic novels to date: LITTLE WHITE MOUSE, MOPED ARMY and B.P.M. and as a graphic designer, I work with people all over the globe, including 80's synthpop star Thomas Dolby.

I also hate all sports except for roller derby, and have spent the last 2 years making my local team look as good as they can art-wise.I love music, especially that kind that you have to plug in.

I have also been called a bastard by Warren Ellis, to my face, and have a signed object to back that up. He's also said a lot of nice things about me as well. I basically re-invented myself on these boards, upping my talent level by being forced to compete with an international cast of artistic talent that kicked my ass and made me get better. That means more to me than you can ever know. I've also drawn most of the regulars on this board in the last few years. They call it being "Sizer-ized"...

You can see all of the art I do at my also cleverly named website]]>

My name is Renee, though you can find me around the Internet as trini_naenae. I joined in 2007 when it was starting up, and have been around more or less since then. Back then I was in Fresno, California, taking art/photo classes at the city college and working etc. I was also doing a lot more creative stuff back then.

Currently I live in northern Wisconsin around the Apostle Island region working as a cashier in an evil box store. Which surprisingly, is better than working at my previous (union!) job, mostly because the stress levels are significantly lower. I haven't done much creatively lately, though I did set up a website and etsy and you can follow me on twitter. I'm significantly less active online than I used to be, and according to my doctors, I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which is code for being tired all the time for no good reason. Was that too much? Probably. Um... a photo.

My name is Jason and I have been talking since 2010 but I lurked for a while before then. I came here for Warren and ended up with many new friends from all around the world. WC is somewhere I come to for calmed nerves and mental high fives.

Personally I have been an IT tech for 90 some odd days, since starting here I have earned an Associates Degree in networking and changed careers. Looking through these 26 mini-bios it is cool seeing the roads traveled by the people from when I first met them. Since coming here I have had two short stories published and I have a long standing hobby of thinking about writing and then just reading some comics, trolling the net, or watching movies. I am current "working" on a comic with my cousin about my Grandfather in WW2.

If you've ever wondered what one of the lurkers who reads everything on here and almost never comments look like it's this:

I split my time between London and deepest, darkest Suffolk where I'm lucky enough to live in some of the most beautiful countryside ever invented by Gainsborough and Constable. For money I'm a Suit in one of the UK's biggest corporations. Mostly I do marketing strategy and Being Sarcastic at people. The best bit of my job is that I get to decide who can go up one of London's most recognisable bits of skyline.

I came for the Freakangels in 2008 ( think?, I'm old, I forget stuff) and stayed for the constant torrent of free inspiration that you lovely people pour out through this forum. Every time Paul Sizer posts something my heart skips a beat.

I rarely comment on anything 'cos (a)time, (b)my creative output starts and ends with cooking and sarcasm and (c)time. But I read pretty much everything and just wanted take a moment to thank you guys.]]>

This is me a few weeks ago, jigsaw trimming an 8' roll of seamless backdrop paper because impatience.

I'm Bill. I've been around since 2008. I've met a large number of people here in actual life for real honest. Mostly in Canada and Williamsburg. Bizarrely, as I'm an intentional Angeleno.

I'm rarely here anymore. I pop in now and then when stuff from here percolates up through twitter via people from here that are also there. I came here originally because people were interesting here. In the beginning I was sometimes an ass, though hopefully have become less so. Shamefully I wasn't even reading Freakangels for the whole first few months I became active, though eventually got on board. Drifted away a bit when Warren abdicated, because I'm shallow that way. Lurk back because Robin, Melissa, Caroline, Risto, Janos and Patrick keep being interesting here. Also lots more of you, but mostly them.

Delighted this corner of the web still works!]]>

Ahoy-hoy! I'm Nick, nearly 30, from Brighton UK. Been here since 2007, mostly as a lurker because most of y'all are fearsomely intelligent and creative. When I came here I was somewhat bitter, confused and unhealthy. Nowadays I am pretty happy, healthy, still somewhat confused, but living with a wonderful woman and our lovely little cat called Poppy.

I work in HR doing policy development stuff, happily in the public sector. I spend most of my money on comics, craft beers, candy and videogames. I like to cook, potter around the garden, and run on a treadmill while listening to Clutch and gesticulating wildly. I too am on Twitter, should you be in the mood for a mix of enthusiastic shouting about comics and beer, angry left-wing RT's and gnomic attempts at humour.

american Lesion. I love to draw, yet never find the time to do it, so I am terrible.

I have spawned two AMAZING sons, and am the stepfather to two girls and a boy. So, if me and my gf have another girl, it will be like some pseudo-Brady Bunch clan. I'm drowning in a sea of Crayola and chicken nuggets.

Lived in Georgia (the state...the UNITED state) all my life. I love it here, yet dream of travelling. I'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal, but someone once told me that's impossible, yet, here I am!

Besides the meager funds I receive from touring/merch with the band, I cook hot wings and play guitar on the sidewalk for gold buying businesses.]]>

I'm chiaslut all over the place, but also: Chia, Robert, Bob, and even Bobby here and there. My account says I've been kicking around here since the end of '07. Can't recall the how or the why I got here, but I've lurked quite a bit while admiring the art. I've opened my yap here and there in the SPIT, videogames and a couple other threads.

Sometimes I have a beard, sometimes I don't. Grew up in a smog-choked valley in Southern California throughout the 70s and 80s, migrated to Oregon in the mid-90s and love it here. I'm raising a small human in a post-polyamorous household. I like drawing cartoony robots and I recently made my first "real" painting. I play too many video games and read too many comic books. I like to make and drink good booze with friends. I earn my wages at a software company in the Silicon Shire, doing a little of this and a little of that.

Oh! I had the pleasure of meeting Max aka Morac briefly at PAX last year. Nice fella.

What do I do? Well, sadly, not enough. I comment here sometimes? I'm on Facebook a lot? I've done comedy, acting, poetry (GAWD!), radio, modelling. (I once did a film in which I walked down several Toronto streets, wearing nothing but running shoes and Saran Wrap.) I've been PUBLISHED. I'm working on a novel. And a couple of screenplays.

I like horseback riding, long walks on the beach and Italian food, though not necessarily in that order I like comics and movies and stuff. I like weird things and brother, Whitechapel's fulla them. GOOD weird things. Ya can learn a lot from this place.

I am friends with Robin and Ian and Allana and Lucien and Peter Kelly and Florence and all the Toronto Whitechapel peoples. I've met Bill and he's fuckin' A-Okay. Alan Tyson is a spy. (I kid, I kid. One time, Robin choked both of us. It was funny.)

OUR GATHERINGS ARE THE STUFF OF LEGENDS. If you're ever in Toronto, you simply MUST attend one. Where else are you going to see Playboy Magazines from the 1970s, wrestling programmes from the 1930s or whatever crazy crap and weird things that are cool? Nowhere else, man!

I am not good with the cameras or fotographias or nothing so no picture. I'm far more attractive than cameras can possibly capture and I also have a mark on my voluminous forehead that makes me look like I've been trepanned so no picture. Sorry.]]>

These days I'm a professional writer - and half the reason I am frankly is because of the encouragement and examples from round here. Love you fuckers.

My main area of interest is Weird Shit, but on the business card it says 'Fortean Journalist" for decorum's sake. I'm best known for my two part examination of the Slenderman phenomenon (Part 1 and part 2 here, free to air) and my rambling discussion of modern magical theory and practice, Guttershaman. I'm a contributing editor at Daily Grail, and have also appeared at Modern Mythology, Weaponizer and Grinding.be.

I live in Yorkshire with my beloved of 19 years, the artist Kirsty Hall. On occasion I scrub up OK.

My name's Kris. & I have a problem.

Or I may just be confused as to what sort of introduction this is supposed to be. So. About me. I'm Canadian, moving to Vancouver from the middle of nowhere in less than a month, love to read, going to study to be a librarian. I'm new to here (second post, how exciting!) & will most likely lurk more than comment, unless I think I have something to say. The appearance of wisdom & mouths shut & all that. Or something.

I have no facebooks, twitters, tumblrs, myspaces, or web profiles. Sorry. I have a rather bad picture, but no designated image host for it; I DO rank a middling 33% on the 'tall, dark, & handsome' scale, however.

So. Back to lurking?

Yes. That sounds good.

I am Roadscum. I sit at the back, muttering to meself and occasionally shouting something incoherent. I am nowhere near as clever as i like to think i am. I am sometimes sharper than i look. Often ...
I joined up back in 2009, still grieving for someone who would have made this place her own but died before i could give her the laptop i'd got for her birthday. I'm less over that than i thought i was. I had ideas myself about writing and maybe some music, nothing much happened with any of it. I think perhaps a lot of it was based on who i was and who i wanted to be, over the years i've slowly come to realise i'm neither of those people.

I never in a million years imagined i'd end up as a fat old lorry driver who takes pictures of bins though. It's a funny old life.

I hate pictures of myself, but seeing as it's you and you asked nicely...]]>

So, I'm Janos, 38 years old, living in Finland, and I'm... all over the fucking place, I guess. I'm currently making my living in the communications side of a well known Finnish gaming company, all the while doing a scientific research dive school and some marine bio as a side job, and I literally just half an hour or so ago submitted the final text of my first novel to the editor. I consider myself to be mainly a writer, but I make some interactive fiction, play theremin in Älymystö and Viihteen uusi aalto, I'm learning game coding which I used to do in the hallowed micro computer era, and I have hopes and dreams of re-learning how to draw. Transmetropolitan from the previous overlord was a piece of storytelling that carried me through 13 years of journalism (and from the current regime I can heartily recommend Contract and A Serpent Uncoiled as great reads, although I'm not yet in a career where those would help), I've made my living as the publicist and making-of producer of Moon Nazis and as a translator, researcher in computational linguistics, sniffer of acetone and a porn magazine writer. I tend to lead a fairly active life of diving, geocaching, urban exploration, bouldering/wall climbing, and being largely unable to resist an impulse or delay gratification to a measurable degree.

This is approximately how I look when I'm having a good time.

I was lured here by taphead in 2009 a phase of life when I had totally lost all hope and respect for online communities of any size and shape, and boy, did this crew give me a positive bitchslap on that. Right off the bat I fell in love with the creativity, the sheer volume of crazy output and the great attitude of the Whitechapel folks, and the fact that if you act like a tit in here, you'll get a loving knee in the metaphorical groin. This forum actually helped me restart my artistic output and get that shit together, which makes me grateful. Lately I've mostly posted on the social threads like open mic and the vile hugging threads, but also to the video game conversations, news and weird shit threads.

This is my blog which I spam in here too blatantly.]]>

I am Bunny, long-time lurker, and haven't been at all active in AGES. I aim to change that a bit since I come here often enough and you all seem supremely awesome.

I live in the horrific post-industrial wastelands on the outlying regions of Manchester, England, currently on-and-off student support worker while waiting for funding to pick up on a PhD. Hobbies and creative outlets are multifarious and numerous: *deep breath* I run and co-own Aural Sects, and indie record label that hoovers up most of my time, I make music as Pe† Ceme†ery (basically sums up my digital music learning curve, coming from an avant-garde classical music composition background - THE TRANSFERENCE IS SURPRISINGLY MINIMAL) as well as numerous other tiny little projects, I've just started doing radio shows for Future Music (which fellow Whitechapeller Texture now contributes to, also). I've also started writing comics, two of which I have artists for and a third which is languishing in limbo due to me not being able to find a suitable artist (hello artists).

I've also started trying to set up my own business in music production/mixing/mastering/orchestration, and about 30 other things that I forget right now.

When I am outside of my little hovel, I look a bit like this:

I actually know a few of the Whitechapel music nerd crew on facebook (where I mostly live) and the twitters that I've been introduced to by Texture and some of the Black Lantern crew that I know run around here. You can probably expect me to mostly park my buttocks in the music discussions, and anywhere where there's discussions of Messrs. Ellis, Spurrier, Ellis, Moore etc. etc.. Also the weird shit/Around the Net threads.

Thank you all for being awesome (in retrospect and in advance).]]>

Hello there. That's an old pic, but it remains fairly representative. I have a little more hair right now, but not so much as you might think.

I'm Tom. I'm 36. I live in Glasgow. I was a chef for a long while, up until about the time I signed up here in fact. I jacked it in cos I wanted to make a living from, like, thinking about stuff really hard rather than sweating and yelling. I graduated this year in Literature and Informatics (I know it's an odd combo) and I've just been accepted for a Research Masters in "Urban Spaces as Game Environments" which I'm pretty stoked about. Still working on the whole "make a living from brainmeats" thing, but I have kind of an exciting project underway which is looking better and better every day. If it works out I'm sure to tell you all about it, if it doesn't I'll just pretend I was lying.

As with some others in this thread, I haven't been around here in a while. I miss it, and I miss threads like this one which make it unavoidably obvious that internet people are humans too.

I've become a smarter person and a (somewhat) better person in the last few years, in part because of this place - though the terrible psychic trauma I've visited upon the poor folks here along the way was the price a planetary communications network paid. Swings and roundabouts innit?

Anyway, I'm super-excited about Disenchanted, so reckon I'll be around a bit more in the coming few.]]>

texture. I'm lucky in that I've met more'n a few 'Chappellers IRL, many of them are collaborators, co-conspirators and even co-delinquents. I've been working as a journalist for a year, which is hilarious, who knows where that's going! I do writer-y things, music-y things, radio things, label-y things and performance-y things. Whitechapel has inspired and supported many of them over the years. It's been an invaluable part of my life. I'm proud to call it home. Typically, I dont visit enough. Welcome to all the new folk! Three things you should know about this place... 1) SPACE SHARK RULES, 2) RESPECT THE MODS, 3) something about crying which I always forget.

I'm Magnus, I'm a Circus Performer, a DJ and currently also a chef living in Bristol, UK. I have apparently been posting here since 2011, although I lurked for a year or so before that, having discovered this wonderful place whilst studying Journalism in Cornwall. I have aspirations to be a whole host of things, but mainly I'm just content to be a working, moving part of the universe, and am enjoying my temporary burst of consciousness.

Sometimes I take the grease-paint off, and on those occasions I sometimes look like this:

Aaaaaand the rest of you have mighty beards! That is, where you do...Where you don't, you're pretty. Damned pretty.

Ben here. Last name up there, along with the aeons of other forgotten languages. Cymraeg, os chi gwybod.Don't currently have a beard but I love the fact that my niece nabbed the above Skype screenshot.Actor, maker, writer, worker. The 1st of those being where I met Magnus.

Been around since '08 and, like many, came for the angels then stuck around for the freaks. The best kind.

Had a couple of months off WC recently because work took off majorly and I'm now living out of a suitcase because of it - in a good way, don't worry [I know how you do]. I'm living on the road making an adventure [pervasive media real world game] in Bodiam Castle.

As of today I've also become a HuffPostUK blogger: first post about The Fatberg in London recently [cheeky I know but if anyone wants to shout about it a la social medias, much appreciated] and one article to come every week until my anti-historical-novel novel comes out on December 13th, Purefinder.

Mostly post in the film reviews, read the Crossed and lurk at the pretty hilarious comments, then update writers on writing stuff. Bragging rights: was once involved in a project that Oldhat started where we filled in one page of a notebook then sent it onto another person. Aces.

I meant it by the way, you're all pretty pretty.]]>

I live between North Yorkshire, England and Munich in Bavaria.i have a couple of jobs. For a lot of years I've been a professional archaeologist, mainly working in contract archaeology. I'm also a GIS specialist so get to play with cool digital versions of historic maps. My own research interest is how people physically experienced Iron Age landscapes, particularly hillforts.

I'm also a writer. I specialise in writing about custom and vintage motorbikes, and have been freelancing for BSH Custom Motorbike magazine on and off for a few years.I'm a regular reviewer for Fortean Times which keeps me supplied in interesting books.

From my brain I write fiction, mainly unsettling stories and have left them all over the net, places like Weaponizer (Cheers Texture!), Innsmouth Free Press and Cabinet des Fees.You can find links to all my fiction at my website and facebook.www.stevetoase.co.uk or www.facebook.com/stevetoase1

So that's me then. The laughter is because I realized what shirt I was wearing just as the photo was taken. I wish I could say I own it ironically. That said... best to keep some mystery.

I'm Mike and I haven't been around much lately. I started lurking in late '09 and finally poked my head out about a year later. Life has gotten so busy lately that I don't really have the energy and time simultaneously to do more than the occasional lurk. It's mostly good busy though, so there's that. I'm more present on twitter and occasionally post things on my own web site, which is dedicated to my music, occasionally my writing, and whatever brain-vomit that feels the need to be thrust upon the world.

I've had the good fortune of meeting a few of you lot in the flesh and it was a pleasure. There are several more to whom I aspire to hoist a pint or six, and more or less the rest of you should give me a shout if you find yourself in the USA in and around Boston since being from the old neighborhood is reason enough to get to know you.

Cheers!]]>

A bunch of you follow me on twitter and stuff, though I'm not entirely sure why.

I grew up on a Utah military base, and went to a couple of schools in the state. I just graduated from school pretty recently. I got my BFA in art with an emphasis in printmaking. Afterward, I quit my job and moved to Ohio, where I now live with my sister and her husband and their 4 (soon to be 5) children. I am currently trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, at least between now and grad school.

I look like this.

It's been ages since I did the introduction thing, but here goes:

Teacher at a junior secondary school, local politician (the words 'worms' and 'can' suddenly start circling), married, father of two beautiful girls, geek of the first water and grower of beards.

I wrote my M.A. thesis on "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and never thought I'd find anything like it outside a Kurt Vonnegut book, but then OHMYGOATWARRENFECKINELLIS!

Sorry, that tends to happen a lot. Thirty-eight-year-old fanboys are a rarity, apparently.

Anyway, I'll cede the floor. I always wondered about that phrase.

Here's a picture of my youngest daughter and me, out for a lovely walk.

My favorite comic shop is A COMIC SHOP right here in Winter Park, Florida! You may have heard of us...big deal, anyway

Because of a comic shop I got enveloped in Ellis' work, along with many others. I believe I'm taking my obsession to unhealthy levels. I don't think I'm normal. But I don't want help. Thank you, Si, Warren, Garth, Alan Moore, Grant M. and every comic book geek who shares an affinity for this delightful medium.

Please check out my blog and share yours with me. That's what this is all about. I want to have a real comic blog without ads and supported by the community I cherish so much.

I started Inside Comic Books.com because I'm just as fascinated by the people making these things almost as much as the books themselves.
